Grab your rainbow flags and banners and join the million or so people who are expected to march through the streets at London’s Pride parade, which marks the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots. With stages set up across central London, it’s a fun and life-affirming event, but we can’t deny that it doesn’t get a little overwhelming with all the crowds. The route kicks off in Green Park at 12pm, by Hyde Park Corner tube station. It then travels along Piccadilly towards Piccadilly Circus station, before finishing outside Big Ben. Pick your Pride stage and then line-up one of the many after-parties across the city to live out the day in style.
We might not be in for quite as much of a scorcher of a weekend as last week, but July is here and along with it, many of the pillars of the Great British Summer. When you’re not filling up your sweet days off with all those things we love about the season: beer garden hangs, alfresco dining, picnics in the park, open-air theatre and cinema and lido visits, join London’s annual Pride parade on Saturday – grab a rainbow flag and join the floats as they march through central London and finish the day off at one of the many after parties across London.
The Wimbledon Tennis Championships have also made their return. If you haven’t bagged yourself a ticket and don’t fancy joining the long entry queue, then take a look at our comprehensive list of screenings around London this weekend. The UEFA Women’s Euros also start this week! If you’re not going to watch the action in person in Switzerland, there are plenty of watch parties and fan zones popping up across the capital – we’ve listed a few of our favourites.
On top of that, there’s also plenty of great theatre to see at the moment, including a gorgeous version of Eugene O’Neill’s final play A Moon for the Misbegotten starring Peter Corboy and Ruth Wilson, or grab tickets to Dickie Beau’s Showmanism, a one-man take on the history of acting that’s ‘complex and richly layered’, according to our critic. There’s also plenty of alfresco fun to enjoy this week, from BST Open House’s free programme of music, cinema and games in Hyde Park, the open-air Everyman Cinema on the grassy steps overlooking Regent’s Canal at King’s Cross and Eel Pie Island’s brilliant open studios, which give you a chance to explore the clandestine island. Get out there and enjoy it!
